Member Spotlight: Why Professionals Join SpeakerPost

SpeakerPost member, Kevin Beatty

“SpeakerPost has been a wonderful way to connect students to working professionals. I've enjoyed sharing my experience with students and their curiosity and energy are infectious. Dr. Kapoor has created a valuable service that unites the needs of educators with the desire of professionals to give, and students receive the benefits of that partnership.”

— Kevin Beatty, SpeakerPost member

Kevin’s words highlight three important themes about the role of SpeakerPost.

1. Student Curiosity

He describes student energy as “infectious.” That reflects something I’ve witnessed repeatedly—when students have access to real-world voices, their interest increases. They ask more questions and look for deeper connections to the material.

2. Professional Motivation

Kevin points to the “desire of professionals to give.” Many professionals want opportunities to share their experience, but they need a structure that makes it simple. SpeakerPost reduces barriers and creates a space where that giving becomes possible.

3. Educator Needs

Educators often want to bring in guest voices but face challenges in finding the right people. Kevin notes how SpeakerPost “unites the needs of educators” with those professionals. That alignment is central to what the platform was designed to do.

A Founder’s Take

When members like Kevin share why they participate, it confirms that SpeakerPost is not only a tool but a community. It works because each group—students, educators, and professionals—benefits from the connection. Students gain new perspectives, educators enrich their teaching, and professionals see the impact of giving back.
